Abstract
The value of physical activity in cancer prevention and therapy has been increasingly recognised during the last twenty years. Many patients suffer from a loss of physical performance and a decline in quality of life - with fatigue, anxiety and depression as a direct result of their disease and therapy. Since the 1990s, there has been a substantial increase in scientific evidence demonstrating the positive effects of physical activity in cancer patients. This article presents an overview of the most important studies investigating the effects of physical activity for breast, colon, and prostate cancer.
